I've always predicted that if MJ actually beats this case, then he's going to chill for a bit and get his head together. Then he's going to work on an album that will be the best of his career. The album will probably reflect the more serious aspects of his life and will and it'll all be put into perspective. He'll just need the right producers though.



That's what I think we would all want. For him to come back with the best music of his life. I would also like to see it be far more progressive and adventurous than anything since Dangerous. He should get some producers involved that no one would expect, and he should have the album be much less slick and more rough around the edges, also, something more earthy-angry (not the pedestal-like ego anger of HIStory) but a more down and dirty approach...I guess more of a rock record perhaps...

Personally, I wish Michael would bring us back to his music, and perform live, Everywhere, in smaller venues.....but I'm sure this will never happen...



Mmmm ok...but he's NOT Prince. Michael will never be humbe enough to play smaller venues. ANd even if he did...what would he do? A smaller stage means less theatrics. It's like telling Madonna to play small clubs...it ain't gonna happen.

Reelase a outtake album or 2. He has 100's!

Drop an album with his brothers (this was menat to happen way back in 1997 for fucks sake mad )

get round to releasing a "victory" tour DVD and a "bad" one with loads of extra's. Drop "captain eo" and put it on the same disc as "moonwalker" which would also have loads of extra's.!



100's of outtakes????

You all crazy people have him confused with Prince or something.

If he had 100's of outtakes, we would have seen them by now. And if there ARE 100's of outtakes they'd proabaly be way crappier than his current output.

Does anyone here feel Michael lost his creative touch a long time ago? Or is it just me?

I think it's pretty pathetic and telling that he has only put out 3 albums in the past 2 decades...and an equal number of Greatest Hits packages.

What he ought to do is go into seclusion for a few years.

:Pout: I guess I fail to see the "genius" that apparently is still bubbleing like a brook within him.

But I wonder how much of this is Fan "want" not MJ reality. Meaning I think most want him to be the genius that he no longer is.

Actually I'd like to see him do an entire album where all the songs are about the trial in one way or another.

The problem with MJ is for years he's competing with thriller!
he keeps trying to top himself and he can't!
He employs all the latest producers
but he's lost his way...

so Maybe he should be more like Prince...
People only know prince for one album Purple Rain and a few hit singles
not like us who memorize his whole catalogue...
I don't believe Prince was ever chasing for another purple rain...
He just plays ...

... at least he plays
maybe MJ should release a outtake album
call it "Crystal Glove"

I just wan't him to make music on his creative terms
not to make a number one single
but for the love of music

He just plays ...True. But again MJ is NOT Prince and never will be or can be. Prince at least has a catalog...and it's 3 times as large (if not bigger ) than MJ. I don't think MJ just plays. He dances and sings. If he could play or had more creative juices in him...we'd all know. And the reason that Prince is still around..is because he has OUTPUT...it doesn't stop. WHen his career derailed...it never really did cuz he kept playing.


... at least he plays
maybe MJ should release a outtake album
call it "Crystal Glove" - Or Sequined Glove. Are there enough good outtakes to put one out? I have my doubts. He doesn't have that many b-sides or extra songs I have seen...and would they have put them on the re-issues instead of interview conversations?

What I wish he would have done after leaving Quincy Jones is shed the larger-than-life pop persona and just be an artist and musician. He was about to venture into a new decade and could have made a fresh start.

Instead, he let his ego run rampant and became preoccupied with remaining the biggest, hippest thing in music. He hired the hottest producers and flavor-of-the-months for his albums, spent tons of money on tacky sets, special effects, and guest stars for his music videos/short films, made all his tours and nearly all of his special appearances big-budget productions complete with lip-syncing and a routine/routines we had seen dozens of times before, and pushed the promotion/media hype button as much as he could and made sure he had the image of an all-loving, all-giving, Christ-like figure, thus all the goons we see over at mjjforum and the like today.

He's still one of my favorite stars (if only because the 80s give me such good feelings and nostalgia.. stop laughing) and I believe he is innocent of all that he's been accused of, but he's nevertheless disappointed me for the most part post-"Bad" and you can bet if I had a magic wand and could turn back the hands of time to make things different, I would have done so already. He was talented and imaginative enough to be on a certain level of Prince, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. sad

One of the obvious covers would be...

I'M FREE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I'm free to do what I want any old time
I'm free to do what I want any old time
So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
I'm free any old time to get what I want


I'm free to sing my song though it gets out of time
I'm free to sing my song though it gets out of time
So love me, hold me, love me, hold me
And I'm free any old time to get what I want

Love me, hold me, love me, hold me
But I'm free any old time to get what I want

I'm free to choose what I please any old time
I'm free to choose what I please any old time
So hold me, love me, love me, hold me
I'm free any old time to get what I want, yes I am


...I'm sure there are others.

Well, actually, even if he is acquitted I have a feeling that won't be the end of his problems. Nor will it reignite his creativity.

he'll get out of it and do a short world tour with prices ranging from 50 dollars to 350 dollars. LA, NY, Miami, Chicago will be among the few cities he does in the states. he'll release a dvd of the tour though his website as well as a live disc compilation of "The Celebration Tour". the tour t shirts will be incredibly expensive. lol

he'll also release a tell all book about the court house drama and unjust ordeal and go on a short book signing promo tour. another greatest hits collection will follow and this one will contain more unreleased tracks to entice buyers.

Whatever he does, he needs to STAY away from the ballads. The love ballads anyway. More Bono type save the world stuff....backed up by action...not greenscreen.

I haven't followed the case. Have no clue what's going on but I do know that whether he is innocent or guilty and whether he "get's out of this" or not the shadow will always be there.

The Michael Brand has changed forever. He needs to chart his course with this in mind.

Oh yeah: No images of him holding children. Not even the hungry ones.

He WROTE hundreds of songs himself. Not to forget how many songs he got from other writers. For BAD, for instance he did hundreds of demos and 30 something of them were fully produced.

Actually I'd like to see him do an entire album where all the songs are about the trial in one way or another.

Cheesy!

lol


So why not just do it himself? I have never even seen him play an instrument

neither I have, but he's credited for drums&percussion, guitar and keyboards. he MUST have some knowledge of instruments, considering that he's an arranger.
Are there enough good outtakes to put one out? I have my doubts.

From what I've heard, some of the outtakes could easily replace some songs that are actually on the album.

I think he will/should drop a new album just after the trial

you guys...if he survives these latest charges,he needs to get himself together before he even attempts to make a new album.He needs to finally get professional help,or else he will be in this same predictament again.That's more important than a new album or a concert tour.
